just got back from the dalmatas on 27th june stayed with my family.me, my partner and 2 kids.had a fantastic stay there a really nice hotel.i was a little worried after reading a few reveiews before i went but we didnt experience any problems,and the reception staff went out of there way to accomadate us.we heard a few people complaiming whilst we were there, but i dont no why. what more can u ask for if you want a 5 star hotel pay the extra and book one,.to many fussy people for my liking.there was an alderly couple complaing too about how many kids there was in the hotel, wll im sorry but if you dont want kids there book a thomson platinum where theres no kids simple!overall we had a top holiday.would stay there again.

Benidorm Los Dalmatas - My husband and I have just returned from a weeks stay in the Los Dalmatas and are very disappointed. The hotel is of average standard and is clean; however, we have stayed in many other 4 star hotels in Benidorm, and this is probably the worst. I booked the hotel on the understanding of the air-conditioning being available, I was given several excuses why it wasn't working, this turned out to be unbearable consisdering the temperatures in June! In fact none of the public areas in the hotel had air con either. The rooms are very small and although clean were dated, the furniture is out of the 50's, very dark and dingy. You can hear every sound next door as there was a connecting door which doesn't help when your neighbour is rowdy. Considering the large amount of British occupants, only one channel on the television was in English and that was the news channel. The food is very average with not a lot of choice and considering how humid the hotel was it was silly to have a dress code of long trousers for dinner. The lifts, when arriving after waiting ages, seemed very unsafe and small, for this reason we used the stairs. Although the hotel boasts a sea view, it was minimal in between other hotels. At the pool area it would probably be impossible to get a sunbed in mid summer. We holiday in Benidorm every year as it is a fantastic place however I will certainly NOT be returning to this hotel. Yes it has some good qualities such as good location and some nice staff, however the faults outnumber these by far. My husband and I are pretty easy going, however, we were very diappointed with this hotel, we stayed in the Pelicanos last year and considering that is a 3 star it is far superior in every aspect.

We stayed at this hotel (2 x 21yr olds) from 08 Aug 2004 to 15 Aug 2004 on a half board basis.

Overall I would say this is a pretty good hotel to stay at. I do not like sky-scrapers or flat like block hotels however you soon realise on arrival that most hotels in Benidorm are like this, and this is one of the nicer looking Hotels in the area.

The hotel is situated a short walk from Levante Beach (there's Burger King, McDonalds about 3 shops and you're on the beach), 10 min walk from the nightlife and about 20-25 mins to the Old town of Benidorm.
There is a basketball/football pitch, small gym, sauna and large indoor seating area near the reception of the hotel. There are two pool tables and a pinball machine. The hotel also has internet access and a Supermarket. This hotel has a large pool with a shallow end for kids. You have to be up early to get a sun lounger as most of these are reserved (even though there are signs saying this is not allowed!). We found that most guests at this hotel were non-English speaking, and there were a lot of families.
The hotel has 4 lifts, 2 for odd and 2 for even. The lifts aren't big and at busy times (meals) you do have to wait for the next one.

We had a double room on the 15th floor, with a view of the pool and the street below. We had a maid service daily with fresh towels and sheets. The room was clean and had a TV and air-conditioning. Our air-conditioning was broken on arrival however after reported to reception this was quickly fixed. The bathroom was quite large.
The food at this hotel was nothing different from any other half board I have stayed at. The staff are friendly enough and do speak English.

This hotel is in a great location as it's quiet enough not to be disturbed by the busy nightlife of Benidorm, however everything is close by.

I would stay at this hotel again.
